Who Yorkshire Gas and Power (YGP) may suit
Best suited to UK non-domestic and business customers seeking fixed-price electricity and gas contracts, including dual fuel and renewable electricity options. The public site suggests a sales-led quotation process rather than a fully self-serve tariff shop, so it appears more suitable for SMEs and commercial accounts than very small microbusinesses needing fully published online tariffs.
Trading name and licence-holder notes
The licence holder/company E E Solutions Ltd appears to trade under the brand Yorkshire Gas and Power / YGP. Official site pages and terms explicitly state 'Yorkshire Gas and Power (the trading name of E E Solutions Ltd)' and 'E E Solutions Ltd trading as Yorkshire Gas and Power'.
Switching from Yorkshire Gas and Power (YGP) to a fixed business contract
UK businesses can switch gas and electricity supply away from Yorkshire Gas and Power (YGP) once their fixed contract ends, or after resolving any open objection or termination-window issue. The process is the same for every supplier on the non-domestic market, but a few checks done in the right order make the transfer materially faster.
- 1. Find your contract end date. It's on your last renewal letter or the most recent bill from Yorkshire Gas and Power (YGP). Most non-domestic contracts have a 1 to 6 month termination window before that date, outside of which you may auto-roll onto a new fixed term.
- 2. Get your MPAN and MPRN ready. The 21-digit MPAN (electricity) and 6 to 10-digit MPRN (gas) uniquely identify each meter and are needed for any competing quote. Both appear on your bill.
- 3. Compare against the live market. Yorkshire Gas and Power (YGP) doesn't publish standard out-of-contract rates, so request a written renewal quote first and benchmark it against live market prices before agreeing anything. Purely Energy can run your meters against the wider UK panel and come back with the cheapest fixed offers.
- 4. Settle the final bill and clear any objections. Yorkshire Gas and Power (YGP) will issue a final bill within 6 weeks of supply transferring. If a balance is outstanding, they can object to the switch under industry rules, so clear it before the transfer date to avoid a hold.
- 5. Sign the new contract. Once the new supplier has your MPAN/MPRN and signed contract, the transfer typically completes within 4 to 8 weeks. There is no break in supply, you simply receive your first bill from the new supplier.
